Creator: Zhang, Zhenghao, Mukherjee, Avishek
Abstract/Description: A system and method for the efficient compression of the Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless network with very low complexity and implementation cost. In accordance with the present invention, the CSI can be approximated as the summation of very few sinusoids on constant frequencies and the parameters of the sinusoids can be found efficiently by very simple calculations such as dot products of vectors which are implementable in hardware at very low cost.

Show moreThe disclosure is directed to multi-coordinating polymers as ligands that combine two distinct metal-chelating groups, lipoic acid and imidazole, for the surface functionalization of QDs. These ligands combine the benefits of thiol and imidazole coordination to reduce issues of thiol oxidation and weak binding affinity of imidazole. The ligand design relies on the introduction of controllable numbers of lipoic acid and histamine anchors, along with hydrophilic moieties and reactive functionalities, onto a poly(isobutylene-alt-maleic anhydride) chain via a one-step nucleophilic addition reaction. We further demonstrate that this design is fully compatible with a novel and mild photoligation strategy to promote the in-situ ligand exchange and phase transfer of hydrophobic QDs to aqueous media under borohydride-free conditions. Ligation with these polymers provides highly fluorescent QDs that exhibit great long-term colloidal stability over a wide range of conditions.

Show moreDisclosed are methods for rerouting radical cascade cyclizations by using alkenes as alkyne equivalents. The reaction sequence is initiated by a novel 1,2 stannyl shift which achieves chemo- and regioselectivity in the process. The radical “hopping” leads to the formation of the radical center necessary for the sequence of selective cyclizations and fragmentations to follow. In the last step of the cascade, the elimination of a rationally designed radical leaving group via β-C—C bond scission aromatizes the product without the need for external oxidant. The Bu₃Sn moiety, which is installed during the reaction sequence, allows further functionalization of the product via facile reactions with electrophiles as well as Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. This selective radical transformation opens a new approach for the controlled transformation of enynes into extended polycyclic structures of tunable dimensions.

Abstract/Description: The disclosure is directed to polymer ligands that are optimally suited for surface-functionalizing magnetic nanoparticles. The amphiphilic polymers are prepared by coupling several amine-terminated anchoring groups, polyethylene glycol moieties, and reactive groups onto a poly(isobutylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PIMA) chain. The reaction of maleic anhydride groups with amine-containing molecules is highly-efficient and occurs in one-step. The availability of several dopamine groups in the...

The reaction of maleic anhydride groups with amine-containing molecules is highly-efficient and occurs in one-step. The availability of several dopamine groups in the same ligand greatly enhances the ligand affinity, via multiple-coordination, to the magnetic NPs, while the hydrophilic and reactive groups promote colloidal stability in buffer media and allow subsequent conjugation with target biomolecules. Nanoparticles ligated with terminally reactive polymers have been easily coupled to target dyes and tested in live cell imaging with no measurable cytotoxicity.

Show moreA system for analyzing and modifying passwords in a manner that provides a user with a strong and usable/memorable password. The user would propose a password that has relevance and can be remembered. The invention would evaluate the password to ascertain its strength. The evaluation is based on a probabilistic password cracking system that is trained on sets of revealed passwords and that can generate password guesses in highest probability order. If the user's proposed password is strong enough, the proposed password is accepted. If the user's proposed password is not strong enough, the system will reject it. If the proposed password is rejected, the system modifies the password and suggests one or more stronger passwords. The modified passwords would have limited modifications to the proposed password. Thus, the user has a tested strong and memorable password.

Creator: Balicas, Luis, Pradhan, Nihar R., Manousakis, Efstratios
Abstract/Description: A light-induced diode-like response in multi-layered MoSe₂field-effect transistors resulting from a difference in the size of the Schottky barriers between drain and source contacts, wherein each barrier can be modeled as a Schottky diode but with opposite senses of current rectification, wherein the diode response results from the light induced promotion of photo-generated carriers across the smaller barrier. The sense of current rectification can be controlled by the gate voltage which is...
Show moreA light-induced diode-like response in multi-layered MoSe₂field-effect transistors resulting from a difference in the size of the Schottky barriers between drain and source contacts, wherein each barrier can be modeled as a Schottky diode but with opposite senses of current rectification, wherein the diode response results from the light induced promotion of photo-generated carriers across the smaller barrier. The sense of current rectification can be controlled by the gate voltage which is able to modulate the relative amplitude between both barriers, yielding a photovoltaic response.

Title: Lipid multilayer microarrays and their use for cell culture screening.
Creator: Lenhert, Steven, Kusi-Appiah, Aubrey
Abstract/Description: Provided is a device having one or more lipid multilayer arrays of lipid multilayer structures on a substrate. Each lipid multilayer structure encapsulates an encapsulated material that may be delivered to a cell that is in contact with the lipid multilayer structure to determine the cellular response of the cell to the encapsulated material.
